Abstract

regstdtanello P. and Tattara G. Industrial clusters and the governance of the global value chain: the Romania-Veneto network in footwear and clothing, Regional Studies. The aim of this paper is to analyse the governance of value chains operating in the traditional sectors of clothing and footwear, focusing particularly on production delocalization from the Italian region of Veneto to the nearby country of Romania. After describing and quantifying the internationalization process between Veneto and Romania, the paper discusses how networks in the two countries evolved through time. This paper draws on several case studies, posits three models of value chain governance, and discusses the implications of these models for territories with very different levels of development and different industrial structures, and it considers their implications for regional development and sustainability.

Cet article puise dans plusieurs etudes de cas, avance trois modeles de la gouvernance des chaines de valeur et discute de l'impact de ces modeles sur les territoires dont les niveaux de developpement et les structures industrielles sont tres differents.

Branchencluster und die Fuhrung der globalen Wertschopfungskette: das Netzwerk Rumanien-Venezien fur Schuhe und Kleidung, Regional Studies. In diesem Beitrag wird die Fuhrung von Wertschopfungsketten im traditionellen Kleidungs- und Schuhsektor analysiert, wobei besonders auf die Delokalisierung der Produktion von der italienischen Region Venezien ins nahe Rumanien eingegangen wird. Nach einer Beschreibung und Quantifizierung des Prozesses der Internationalisierung zwischen Venezien und Rumanien erortern wir, wie sich die Netzwerke in den beiden Landern im Laufe der Zeit weiterentwickelt haben. Hierfur werten wir mehrere Fallstudien aus, entwickeln drei Modelle fur die Fuhrung von Wertschopfungsketten, erortern die Folgen dieser Modelle fur Gebiete mit einem ausserst unterschiedlichen Entwicklungsstand und unterschiedlichen Industriestrukturen und untersuchen die Auswirkungen auf die regionale Entwicklung und Nachhaltigkeit.
